Many children are interested in meditation but either are unsure what it is, how it is done, and what to expect. In this three-day Meeting IKE Series class© students will learn: Class One Meditation: What is it? How and when is it done? ~ During this first class the teacher will -in simple to understand terms- define what meditation is, how and when mediation is usually practiced, and the teacher will answer questions students may have. This class will close out with a short, simple guided meditation which introduces them to the meditation process. © Class Two Weird History Facts And Silly Stories Of Meditation ~ Where did it begin and when? Who created some forms of it? Where did the word "meditation" come from? How many types of meditation are there? And, what are the weird and silly are the stories? (Answer: they are really weird and really silly) © Class Three Jesus, Buddha, And Gandhi used meditation. Will Smith, George Lucas, Miranda Kerr, Superman, and other cartoon characters use it too. ~ What were those from our past hoping to gain or lose? Were they searching for something? Did they find it and if they did, where was it? What are some of the things that can be gained through meditation? © I highly recommend your child attend my 'Calm the Chaos' guided meditation class after this class. It's a short and highly effective class taken by hundreds children.
Learning Goals
Students will easily learn basic facts and history about meditation which will build a good foundation so they will become more interested in practicing it, and have a better understanding of meditation as they begin to include it in their lives. They will learn that many people from many backgrounds turn toward this practice. Knowing intellectually about this practice from learning facts about it and creatively practicing it for its benefits is whole brain learning!
